Universities across the country are scrambling to understand the implications of generative A.I.’s transformation of ...

Arm's royalty rates for its newest architecture, v9, are around 5%, double those of predecessor v8, according to management. As v9 represents a larger portion of revenue, Arm's blended royalty rate ...

The WPU only has four instructions, or attoinstructions, to change the state of one of the 64 pins on the computer – set to logical 1, set to logical 0, invert current state, and halt.

RISC-V, pronounced “risk five,” is a modern open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. In simple terms, it’s like a blueprint ...

Kite is an architecture simulator that models a five-stage pipeline based on the RISC-V instruction set. The initial version of Kite was developed in 2019 for educational purposes as part of EEE3530 ...

Computer architects call this the “instruction set architecture,” or the ISA. (They switch between saying each letter, “I-S-A,” and—the neater option—pronouncing it as a word, “eye ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

The x86 architecture, developed by Intel in the 1980s, is a complex instruction set computer architecture, whereas Arm is a reduced instruction set computer architecture.

Arm Holdings plc plans to cancel a license that gives Qualcomm Inc. permission to use its instruction set architecture in chips.Bloomberg reported the development today. Qualcomm, the world’s to ...

The instruction set provides the encoding and semantics, but it doesn't specify how it's implemented, leading to the plethora of RISC-V cores, chips, and boards.
